Wellteen Him Plus

Advanced nutritional support for teenagers and young men

Today's young adults have more to live up to than ever before, with busy social lives, late nights and early mornings, studying and sports to juggle. Ensuring a healthy, balanced diet is essential but it's not always a priority in a hectic teenage lifestyle. Wellteen Him Plus has been developed especially for teenagers and young men aged 13-19 years, it provides a comprehensive range of vitamins, minerals, Co-Q10, botanical extract Lycopene, plus a high purity Omega-3 capsule. Omega 3 provides DHA which helps to maintain normal brain function.*

Mental performance

Wellteen Him Plus provides Omega-3 EPA/DHA capsules. High concentration Omega-3 fish oil provides DHA* (Docosahexaenoic acid) which contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and vision. Produced to the highest standards of quality control, using advanced molecular distillation for added purity.

Wellteen Him Plus tablets include zinc, iron and iodine which contribute to normal cognitive function, whilst pantothenic acid contributes to normal mental performance to help support concentration levels when studying. Iron also contributes to normal formation of red blood cells & haemoglobin and contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body to support cells and organs.

Teenagers and diet

An optimum nutritional intake during adolescence and young adulthood can help set the stage for lifelong health. Teenagers need to have sufficient vitamins and minerals to ensure healthy development during growth spurts, plus as they undergo significant physical and biochemical changes in their bodies, the necessity for nutrients greatly increases. The teenage years are perhaps the most significant in terms of hormonal change, and of course emotional stress.

Reduction of tiredness and fatigue

Juggling studies, sports and a busy social life all takes its toll. Wellteen Him Plus includes vitamins B6, B12 and vitamin C which contribute to normal energy release and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Immune support

A range of nutrients including zinc, selenium, iron, folic acid, vitamins B6 & B12 and vitamin D contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Recent research has shown that optimum dietary levels of vitamin D may be higher than previously thought, Wellteen Him Plus provides an effective level of vitamin D with 800IU (20µg) of the preferred D3 form. Vitamin C also contributes to normal immune system function during and after intense physical exercise which is a key consideration for those involved in sport.

Bone health

Health research shows that even a short period of very strict "dieting" during early teens can lead to low bone density, which causes weak bones in later life. Between 12-17 years of age, up to 90 percent of adult bone mass is laid down, so this is not a time to limit the intake of calcium or vitamin D which help to maintain normal bone health.

Wellteen Him Plus tablets include vitamin D and minerals such as magnesium and zinc which contribute to the maintenance of normal bone health. Vitamin D also helps the body with the absorption and utilisation of calcium from the diet.

Food Supplement

Food supplements must not replace a varied balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. As with other food supplements, seek professional advice before using if you are under medical supervision or suffer from food allergies or are allergic to any of the ingredients. This product contains iron, which, if taken in excess, may be harmful to very young children. Allergy advice: For allergens see ingredients list.

Why is it that young people may benefit from nutritional supplements?

Government surveys have indicated that teenager's diets can sometimes be low in certain nutrients such as iron, vitamin A and vitamin D. Many teenagers are also not eating the recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day and so may not be getting all of the vital nutrients that their bodies need for long term health and development. Some foods may have a lower than expected nutritional content and be low in certain micronutrients as a result of several factors including modern farming practices, the lengthy storage of 'fresh' food before it is sold in some shops and over cooking which can cause certain nutrients to breakdown. It is important to promote a healthy diet and lifestyle and encourage positive eating and exercise habits for later in life. Food supplements are of course not a substitute for a healthy balanced diet. Top

How many tablets and capsules does one pack of Wellteen Him Plus contain?

Wellteen Him contains 28 tablets and 28 capsules per pack, take one tablet and capsule per day. Top

How and when should Wellteen Him Plus be taken?

Take one tablet and one capsule daily preferably with or immediately after your main meal, with water or a cold drink. Taking the tablet and capsule with a large meal maximises the absorption of the nutrients, and can reduce mild nausea, which is sometimes experienced if multivitamins are taken on an empty stomach. Always ensure that Wellteen Him Plus is taken with plenty of liquid to wash the tablet down, and not hot tea or coffee as this may cause them to disintegrate too fast. Top

Are there any undesired effects whilst taking Wellteen Him Plus?

Wellteen Him Plus tablets have no known side-effects when taken as directed. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. In case of overdose, seek medical advice immediately. As with all supplements, seek professional advice before using if you are under medical supervision or suffer from any food allergies. Do not take if you are allergic to soya or fish. Top

Is Wellteen Him Plus recommended with any other Vitabiotics products?

Calcium is an essential mineral, and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. However, it has not been included in the Wellteen Him Plus formula, as it is not possible to include the right amount in one tablet. Rather than including just a token amount of calcium, Wellteen Him Plus has been designed so that it can be taken alongside Vitabiotics' Osteocare. For more information, visit www.osteocare.com Top

Need help swallowing a tablet or capsule?

Difficulty in swallowing tablets is quite a common experience. Vitabiotics have researched this extensively and recommend after chewing some food (e.g. banana), just before you swallow, pop the tablet into your mouth and swallow it together with the chewed food, followed by some liquid. The throat opens up wider to swallow the chewed food and so the tablet should go down with greater ease. Alternatively, the tablets may be swallowed with thicker liquids such as yoghurts or smoothies. Top

What are the active ingredients?

For what age group is Wellteen Him Plus intended?

Wellteen Him Plus has been specifically formulated to provide a comprehensive range of micronutrients, vitamins, minerals and Omega-3 to help support the daily nutritional requirements of teenagers and young men aged 13-19 years. Top

Is Wellteen Him Plus suitable for vegetarians?

No, Wellteen Him Plus is not suitable for vegetarians as it contains fish oil in a pharmaceutical grade gelatin capsule. DHA and EPA can be obtained indirectly through the conversion of the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), present in vegetable oils such as linseed but this process is very inefficient. Wellteen Him Plus contains fish oil as it provides a much more reliable, direct source of DHA and EPA. Top

Some Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) are above 100%, is this safe?

Certain vitamins are very safe at levels tens or even hundreds of times the NRV, whereas for others the safety level is much closer to the NRV. For this reason every vitamin and mineral needs to considered on an individual basis in terms of its upper safe level.

The Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the NRV, have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. This is why some Vitabiotics formulas have certain nutrient levels greater than 100% NRV.

All Vitabiotics products have been developed using the latest research and contain effective levels of vitamins and minerals, while avoiding any excessive amounts, in accordance with official upper safe limits for vitamins and minerals.

Vitabiotics avoids 'mega dose' levels of isolated nutrients and instead we have always stressed the importance of safe, moderate and sensible levels of vitamins and minerals, carefully balanced to maximise their combined effect; an approach which has been supported by many experts and researchers over the years.

Always read the product directions before use. Do not exceed the recommended intake. As with other food supplements seek professional advice before using if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or suffer from food allergies, and consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have an underlying medical condition, or if on medication. Vitamin supplements are not intended to treat or prevent any disease. Food supplements must not replace a balanced and varied diet, and a healthy lifestyle.

Wellteen Reviews

"We started giving our son these about a month ago and the difference is very noticeable. His attention is a lot better and he is loving taking them. Getting any healthy food into him is hard so we know these vitamins are the next best thing to keep his health in tip top condition. The whole family are taking vitamins now so we all take them at the same time, and the 3 for 2 offer is fantastic. We have done the subscribe thing so we get the wellteen vitamins monthly."

Mr C Murray, United Kingdom

"Having used your Wellteen Her products for a couple of months, I have found that I'm less tired after training and more alert during school work, not to mention the benefit they've had on my skin too, my spots had cleared up and my lovely skin is back. I've noticed a big difference when I'm in my race car too, I'm able to keep focus longer and my concentration is better, even in the extreme heat of the cockpit which runs at around 40 degrees. Great products. Thank you Vitabiotics "(Junior Championship Racing Driver)

Ms E Linscott, United Kingdom

"Just wanted to tell you that our daughter took a Wellteen every day during her recent GCSEs and she was healthy throughout, despite the stress of exam-taking.”"

Ms C Hindle, United Kingdom

"The best vitamins I can give my daughter who is a very picky eater. Exceptional value for money. I am confident in knowing that by giving her the best quality vitamins she remains healthy. I would not buy any other brand. My daughter likes Wellteen as they do not taste horrid and can be swallowed easily. No nasty indigestion from them either. So nice to know that kids are happy to take them.
Well done Vitabiotics, you are champion in our house.
